REMY AYOB - TOP CYCLIST NOW 2018 BECAUSE DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS


                                                  REMY AYOB
TOP  CYCLIST IN THE WORLD 2018 – VIA DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS
Remy Ayob, 25, from Sungai Lui Ulu Langat, Selangor, who had biked across 20 countries from Malaysia since March last year and final United Kingdom on 24 February 2018.  

Talking about Decompression Illness (DCI) describes a range of symptoms arising from decompression of the body. DCI can be caused by two different mechanisms, which result in overlapping sets of symptoms. The two mechanisms are:
  • Decompression sickness (DCS), which results from metabolically inert gas dissolved in body tissue under pressure precipitating out of solution and forming bubbles during decompression. It typically afflicts underwater divers on poorly managed ascent from depth or aviators flying in inadequately pressurised aircraft.
  • Arterial gas embolism (AGE), which is gas bubbles in the bloodstream. In the context of DCI these may form either as a result of bubble nucleation and growth by dissolved gas into the blood on depressurisation, which is a subset of DCS above, or by gas entering the blood mechanically as a result of pulmonary barotrauma. Pulmonary barotrauma is a rupturing of lung tissue by expansion of breathing gas held in the lungs during depressurisation. This may typically be caused by an underwater diver ascending while holding the breath after breathing at ambient pressure, ambient pressure escape from a submerged submarine without adequate exhalation during the ascent, or the explosive decompression of an aircraft cabin or other pressurised environment.
In any situation which could cause decompression sickness, there is also potentially a risk of arterial gas embolism, and as many of the symptoms are common to both conditions, it may be difficult to distinguish between the two in the field, and first aid treatment is the same for both mechanisms.

Signs and symptoms

Below is a summary comparison of the signs and symptoms of DCI arising from its two components: Decompression Sickness and Arterial Gas Embolism. Many signs and symptoms are common to both maladies, and it may be difficult to diagnose the actual problem. The dive history can be useful to distinguish which is more probable, but it is possible for both components to manifest at the same time following some dive profiles.

Safe versus dangerous diving

Over the past 20 years diving has become extremely popular, both at home and abroad.
But diving is not without its dangers. It's vital to attend a recognised diving school for training, and subsequently make sure that you keep your skills up to date.
Diving must be planned and carried out in a responsible manner, making sure that first aid equipment and relevant telephone numbers are at hand should an accident take place.
Finally, it's important to know the signs of decompression sickness and to be able to give first aid to an affected diver.

What is decompression sickness?

Decompression sickness, also called the bends, is caused by nitrogen bubbles forming in the bloodstream and tissues of the body.
The bubbles occur if you move from deep water towards the surface (where the surrounding pressure is lower) in too short a space of time.
Symptoms occur soon after the dive has finished and, in the most serious cases, it can lead to unconsciousness or death.
If you suspect decompression sickness: stop the dive, initiate first aid, and summon assistance from a specialist in divers' medicine. Treatment is 100 per cent oxygen on site and during transportation, followed by treatment in a decompression chamber.

What are the symptoms?

The symptoms of decompression sickness vary because the nitrogen bubbles can form in different parts of the body.
The diver may complain of headache or vertigo, unusual tiredness or fatigue. He or she may have a rash, pain in one or more joints, tingling in the arms or legs, muscular weakness or paralysis. Less often, breathing difficulties, shock, unconsciousness or death may be seen.
The symptoms generally appear in a relatively short period after completing the dive. Almost 50 per cent of divers develop symptoms within the first hour after the dive, 90 per cent within six hours and 98 per cent within the first 24 hours.
In practice this means symptoms that appear more than 24 hours after the dive are probably not decompression sickness.
An exception is if the diver has travelled in an aircraft or has been travelling in the mountains. Under these circumstances, low pressure can still trigger decompression sickness more than 24 hours after the last dive. As a result, it's wise not to fly within 24 hours of a deep dive.

What if you or a friend have symptoms?

  • Stop the dive and keep calm.
  • If the diver is unconscious, give first aid.
  • Summon the emergency services immediately.
  • Breathe pure oxygen if possible.
  • Avoid over-exertion.
  • Drink plenty of liquid.
  • Any unusual condition after a dive could be decompression sickness. So if in doubt, get medical help.

Why does it happen?

Nitrogen makes up 70 per cent of the air we breathe (in the air around us and in our diving bottles). During a dive, large amounts of nitrogen are taken into the body's tissues. This is because the diver is breathing air at a higher pressure than if they were at the surface. The quantities of dissolved nitrogen depend on the depth and duration of the dive. The deeper and longer the dive, the more nitrogen is taken up by the body. This does not present a problem as long, as the diver remains under pressure.As the diver begins to ascend to the surface, the surrounding pressure falls, and nitrogen is released from the body via the lungs when the diver breathes out.If the rate of ascent exceeds that at which nitrogen can be released, it forms bubbles in the blood and tissues (similar to opening a bottle of fizzy drink too quickly).To minimise the risk of bubbles forming and divers developing decompression sickness, various tables have been drawn up that show the relationship between a given depth of water and the time a diver can stay down.

In addition, divers are advised to make a safety stop every 5 metres, and not to ascend at a pace of more than 10 metres a minute. If the dive has been deep or of long duration, it may be necessary to stop one or more times on the way up, making so-called decompression stops.But following the advice of the tables is no guarantee of avoiding decompression sickness. This is because the risk of developing decompression sickness is not only determined by the depth and length of the dive, but also by any safety or decompression stops. Factors such as cold, current, exertion and lack of fluid also play a part.Personal characteristics such as age, sex, percentage of body fat and physical condition must also be considered. Women are more at risk of decompression sickness than men. Similarly, the risk becomes greater the older the diver and also depends on the level of physical fitness.

How is it diagnosed?

In most cases, the diving history (ie information on the number of dives, diving depth, dive time, rate of ascent and decompressions) – as well as information on contributory factors such as cold, current, work and the diver's physical condition – will give some indication as to whether it could be decompression sickness.After a thorough examination, which includes investigating balance, coordination, sense of touch, reflexes and muscular strength, the doctor can build up a complete picture to evaluate whether decompression sickness is likely.The doctor will also decide if the diver requires treatment in a decompression chamber (also called a hyperbaric or recompression chamber).

What measures can be taken to avoid decompression sickness?

  • Dive within the limits set out in the diving tables.
  • Keep your rate of ascent to a maximum 10 metres a minute.
  • Don't plan any dives that need a decompression stop in the water.
  • Make a three-minute safety stop at a depth of 5 metres.
  • Don't dive more than three times in one day.
  • If you plan more than one dive in one day, start by making the deepest dive first.
  • If you are diving for several days in a row, have a dive-free day after two to three days.
  • Don't do any hard work before or after diving.
  • Drink lots of liquid (ideally oral rehydration solutions) before diving. Lack of fluid due to heat or excess alcohol is dangerous.
  • Make sure you are in good physical condition and well rested. Have regular medical checkups.
  • Make sure there is an interval of at least 24 hours between diving and travel by air or climbing up mountains. If you have had decompression treatment, the recommended interval before the next dive is at least 48 hours.

Recovery after decompression sickness

Mild forms of decompression sickness can resolve themselves without treatment or by breathing 100 per cent oxygen at the site of the accident.
But if there's any suspicion of decompression sickness, the diver must be examined by a doctor. This is because, although it might not seem serious at the time, the condition may deteriorate.
If the diver receives treatment at an early stage, the chances of avoiding permanent injury are good. The longer that treatment is delayed, the greater the risk of serious consequences.
You should take a rest from diving after treatment for decompression sickness. The length of this rest depends on the severity of the decompression sickness and the effects of treatment, and they should be discussed with a specialist in divers' medicine.

How is decompression sickness treated?

There's no medicine that's used as a matter of routine in treating decompression sickness.

At the diving station and during transport

  • 100 per cent oxygen by mask, at a rate of 10 to 15 litres a minute.
  • Give the diver plenty of fluid to drink.
  • Give first aid if the diver is unconscious.
  • Prevent the diver from exerting himself or getting cold.

In hospital and specialised centres

  • A decompression chamber is a steel tank that can be pressurised. There are decompression chambers in various places in the UK - some of these are situated at naval centres. The pressure in a decompression chamber can be increased by closing the doors and pumping air in.
  • During treatment for decompression sickness, pressure is increased to correspond to the pressure found 18m under water. In some cases, the pressure in the chamber is set at 50 metres.
  • The diver breathes pure oxygen through a mask, which improves exhalation of nitrogen. At depths in excess of 18 metres, and also after adequate intervals, the mask can be removed in the chamber. Pressure in the chamber is reduced gradually until the diver reaches surface pressure again.
  • Treatment typically lasts between five and six hours.
  • Throughout treatment a specially trained helper stays with the diver in the chamber. The diver's condition is closely monitored by further examination of coordination and balance, sense of touch, etc.
  • If necessary, the diver's medical specialist can join the diver in the chamber, but otherwise takes charge of the treatment outside the chamber in co-operation with the specially trained helper.
  • After treatment, the diver will be kept for 24 hours for observation in case his condition deteriorates.
  • In most instances one course of treatment is adequate, but occasionally several treatments may be needed.
  • After treatment for decompression sickness, a diver should take a rest from diving. The length of this rest should be discussed with a specialist in divers' medicine.

Remy Ayob, Pemuda Sungai Lui Hulu Langat Selangor Catat Rekod Dunia 2018 Berbasikal Solo Tanpa Tajaan




Menatap akhbar New Strait Times (NST) online pada 25 Februari, 2018 pada waktu hampir magrib itu memang sungguh membuat aku gembira tak terhingga kerana detik-detik cemas sepanjang beberapa bulan sebelum ini akhirnya berhasil membuahkan satu kejayaan paling besar dalam sebuah keluarga  disebuah perkampungan jauh di Sungai Lui Hulu Langat Selangor dan apa yang terjadi dia telah mencipta rekod dunia berbasikal solo tanpa tajaan dari mana-mana pihak hanya semata-mata yakin pada allah yang maha berkuasa yang akan menyembuhkan satu jenis penyakit yang jarang disebut orang kecuali pada penyelam-penyelam dalam dasar laut  yang disebabkan oksigen yang digunakan oleh para penyelam gagal berfungsi dengan baik ketika itu. Puas jugak aku search kat Google apa jenis penyakit yang sering dialami oleh penyelam dalam dasar laut yang mana di tanggung oleh anak saudara aku Remy anak kepada kakak saudara kandung aku Rahmah Musa itu. Itu ialah sejenis penyakit paru-paru  yang mana kegagalan oksigen berfungsi menyebabkan penyelam mengalami kekejagan akibat daripada nitrogen yang telah masuk kedarah dalam bentuk buih-buih yang akan memperlahankan danyutan jantung seseorang. 

Jadi dengan cara bersukan lasak akan mengeluarkan peluh yang akan menyelamatkan diri seseorang maka dengan itu anak muda dari perkampungan Sungai Lui Hulu Langat, Selangor itu nekad untuk berbasikal seorang diri semata-mata untuk menyelamatkan diri sendiri dari maut walaupun ada cara moden yang boleh menyelamatkan beliau dari kematian tetapi dengan perbelanjaan yang begitu tinggi hingga mencecah ribuan ringgit. Pantang ajal sebelum maut dan itulah yang menjadi prinsip hidupnya ketika melewati setiap batu persegi yang terpaksa dilaluinya walaupun tanpa wang yang mencukupi dalam saku untuk makan dan minum dan berteduh.

Lalu apa yang aku lakukan ialah menggunakan prinsip ukhwah sesama manusia dan nilai-nilai persahabatan dalam kehidupan manusia sebagai cara untuk membantunya memberi sokongan moral yang bukan berbentuk wang ringgit yang mampu dijadikan bahan bantuan disepanjang perjalanan nya merentasi gunung ganang di sepanjang benua Eropah itu. Melalui nilai-nilai persahabatan aku berhubung dengan En. Shahrum yang merupakan duta di Kedutaan Malaysia di Burgaria mengharapkan bantuan ikhsan dari segi moral dan apa sahaja jenis bantuan sebagai menusia untuk memantau perjalanannya disetiap inci tanah yang dilaluinya sehingga sampai ke destinasi terakhirnya iaitu United Kingdom.

Espisod Selepas SPM - Kerja Sambilan Aje



Hari terakhir anak aku habis exam SPM ialah hari Khamis 22/11/2017 last sekali subjek Ekonomi lepas tu aku nampak anak aku dah mula merdeka dari semua benda …kasut main campak je merata-rata buku main lambak je atas meja ….sepertimana yang aku rancang daripada awal lagi aku dah bagitahu dia lepas shj SPM jangan lagi duduk melepak kat rumah dan itu adalah masa untuk mencari kerja sambilan dan kerja apa sahaja asalkan halal …aku cakap dengan anak aku dulu ibu lepas sahaj SPM ibu terus mintak kerja kilang yang berdekatan dengan kampung itu sebuah kilang memproses bulu biri-biri MTM yang terletak di Semenyih iaitu kira-kira 30minit dari rumah…disana aku kerja selama 4 bulan sahaja dengan gaji hanya rm 180.00 sebulan pada waktu itu. Bagi aku jumlah itu memang besar sekali pada tahun itu pada tahun 1984 dan dengan duit sebanyak itu aku dah boleh bantu mak bayar bil dan beli barang-barang dapur …so bila aku ada sekarang ini dan anak ak udah besar ….aku pun nak anak aku  ikut jejak aku lepas SPM wajib kerja …buat apa duduk melepak kat rumah main game 24jam kalo kerja dapat gak duit beli topup hphone …..tak ada lahh asyik mintak duit aku aje kerja !!!!! …..

Jadi sebelum habis SPM lagi aku dah cari kerja untuk anak aku tapi bila aku cakap kerja tu kerja apa dia tak nak pulakkkkk … ok taka pa kalao dia nak cari sendiri dulu kerja yang dia suka nak buat ….jadi dirumah anak aku dah mula berperang dengan aku yang dia tak nak kerja yang aku dah cari utk dia ….. tapi dia nak kerja yang dia sendiri cari dan paling gila nak gaji banyak rm1500.00………… “gila dia ingat senang nak cari kerja dgn gaji banyak tu !!!! … “banyak berlagak nak gaji banyak dia sendiri tak tahu dia boleh buat kerja ke tidak !!!!! ………..kat rumah nak mintak tolong sikit pun payah selalu nampak berkira sangat kalo nak mintak tolong apa-apa benda kat rumah..duk kat umah sendiripun macam duk umah orang !!!!!!…... berkira sangat ….tolonglah buang sampah ke pa ?? cuci pinggan mangkuk sapu rumah kemas rumah lipat kain sejuk gak mata aku ini tidak jadi bos kat rumah. 

So aku dah cakap dengan anak aku yang dia wajib pergi kerja selepas SPM sebab dia dah besar panjang dan dah boleh bekerja lagipun rugi besar duduk bandar canggih gila begini rupa dekat dengan rumah ni bersepah kalau nak…nak jadi tukang masak berderet restoran berdekatan dengan rumah, nak jadi pekerja pam minyak pun ada dekat rumah, nak jadi pembuat kek pun ada kedai kek yang berdekatan dan yang pasti aku dah cakap dia wajib kerja lepas SPM………….senang aku kalau dia pergi kerja baru dia rasa susahnya carik duit selama ini aku ikut shj kehendak dia apa dia nak aku ikut je walaupun perit dlam otak aku ni …nak hphone tak nak yg murah nak yang mahal ..asyik mintak duit topup dah kerja pandai ko lah heh …..

Hari tu hari Sabtu 2/12/2017 iaitu 4 hari selepas habis SPM aku cakap dengan anak aku ………”adik, ibu dah ambik borang kerja ni untuk adik satu kerja kat 7 Eleven, satu lagi kerja kat Dominos satu latu pasaraya MERO MARKET, dan satu lagi jadi pengawal keselamatan yang dah lama aku booking dah tapi anak aku taknak …dia plakkk bagitahu aku dia nak kerja kat catering jadi waiters tapi bila aku tanya dia dngn kawan dia baru nak memohon kerja tu jadi aku cakap dengan anak aku dia tak payah nak tunggu kawan kalo nak kerja …aku bawak dia pergi hantar borang kerja tu kat Dominos dengan harapan anak aku di terima kerja ….sampai di Dominos tu keadaan kat sana nampak macam begitu sebok sekali aku tetap sabar menunggu supervisor itu dan dia bagitahu suh datang esok jadi esoknya aku datang sekali lagi dgn anak aku …..alhamdulillah lepas interview tu anak aku kena ambik injection kat klinik sebab dia dapat bahagian penyediaan makanan …hah lega aku aku akhirnya dapat kerja tuh jadi aku terus bawak anak aku pergi klinik yg berdekatan untuk ambik injection …..


Pepagi lagi hari tu hari Ahad 3/12/2017 – dia kelihatan begitu bersemangat sekali nak pergi kerja …hari pertama anak aku menceburkan diri dalam dunia kerjaya sebagai tukang masak pizza di sebuah organisasi makanan segera terkemuka di dunia iaitu DOMINO’S …tempat kerja dekat dengan rumah boleh jalan kaki ….ulang suara boleh jalan kaki cuma berapa meter shj dari rumah kitaorang…jadi dah dapat lega ya allah rasa hati anak dah dapat kerja lepas ini suka hati dia lah nak buat apa dengan duit gaji dia tuh…dia nak beli handphone ke nak beli baju ke nak beli bahan pencuci muka dia yang macam2 tuh …………………………..yang pasti dah dapat kerja dan dengan ini dia dapat pengalaman bekerja dan tahu begaimana menceburkan diri dalam dunia pekerjaan …….sepanjang hari anak tiada dirumah kerana mula bekerja aku rasa cukup selesa…selesa sebab aku tak sakit mata lagi sebab sebelum ini dia 24jam main game yg cukup menyakitkan mata aku. Aku berdoa pada allah anak aku boleh bertahan sepanjang hari ini bekerja sebagai tukang masak pizza yang sudah pasti disukai nya kerana dia memang pernah memberitahu aku yang dia minat bidang masak memasak so aku sedaya upaya usaha utk anak aku dapat kerja tu ….jadi caranya macam biasa pergi sendiri kat tempat tu tanya dulu ada kerja kosong ke tidak kat tempat tu ….bila aku pergi sana orang sana suruh isi borang dulu jadi aku isi borang dulu ….dan kena ambik gambar passport untuk tampal kat borang tuh ….hah anak aku dah lama tak ambik gambar passport jadi aku ajak anak aku pergi ambik gambar passport kat kedai gambar dah tu isi borang tu semua kemudian aku sendiri dengan anak pergi hantar borang itu…aku harap mana tahu anak aku kena interview terus …alhamdulillah rezeki anak aku agaknya hari itu interview hari itu jugak dapat kerja tuh….rasa nak melompat aku..anak aku dah dapat kerja tuh !!!!

 
INI DOMINO'S YANG ADA KAT LUAR NEGARA .....

  Ini lah tempat kerja anak aku yang pertama DOMINO’S jadi tukang masak pizza…..mulai hari itu aku asyik selak satu persatu semua hal berkenaan dengan Domino’s dari latar belakang company itu sehingga lah kepada semua produk-produk makanan keluaran company itu…alhamdulullha….syaukur aku kepada allah yang maha esa rezeki anak aku dapat kerja itu satu kerja yang begitu mencabar sekali sebagai tukang masak pizza dan dengan pelanggan yang begitu ramai seluruh dunia. Ini ia sebuah company besar Food Delivery Franchising Restaran dan mula beroperasi pada tahun 10 June 1960 di sebuah bandar di Ypsilanti, Michigan Amerika Syarikat oleh orang yang bernama JAMES MONAGHAN DAN TOM MONAGHAN. Company ini mempunyai ibu pejabat di Domino’s Farms Ann Arbor, Michigan Amerika Syarikat yang mempunyai produk makanan seperti Pizza, Pasta dan Submarine Sandwishes dan sekarang ini Dominos sekarang ini mempunyai pekerja seramai 260,000 pada tahun 2016…yang tahun ini tahun 2017 entah berapa juta entah pekerja dia dan termasuklah nama anaka aku dah jadi pekerja dia tahun ini ….Company ni menggunakan nama DOMINO’S PIZZA INC pada tahun 1965. Alhamhamdulillah anak aku salah seorang yang bertuah dapat bekerja dalam sebuah syarikat terbesar di dunia ini sebagai tukang masak pizza ….bukan senang nak dapat jadi tukang masak pizza tuh lagipun dia tak pernah pun belajar buat pizza kat rumah yg cuma dia ada belajar cuma ayam goreng ,nasi goreng, mee goreng ….

 So episode cari kerja lepas exam SPM dah tamat Cuma bertahanlah dengan berbagai kerenag manusia yang berada dalam dunia kerjaya…aku dah bagitahu kena datang awal jangan ponteng kerja jangan suka melawan ketua jangan memandai-mandai buat kerja tanpa arahan, janagn sombong hormat orang jangan suka meyombong jangan suka berlagak padnai dan jangan suka cari pasal dengan orang dan janagn sombong dah dapat kerja company besar amca tuh….ib udah cakap jangan bagitahu kawan-kawan kelas adi kdah dapat keraja tuh walhal aku yang dah banyak bagitahu member offive anak aku kerja sambialn kat sana……………

SO ini lah tempat kerja pertama anak bujang aku selepas SPM ....tempat ini berdekatan dengan rumah kami jadi senang dia nak pergi kerja tak payah nak bersusah payah ...nak makan nasi balik je kat rumah kalau dah muak asyi luch dengan pizza setiap hari ...yang penting dapat kerja tu kerja lah dengan ikhlas dan penuh bersemangat dan penuh didikasi jangan suka melawan ketua dan jangan perangai buruk sepanjang bekerja disana .................ingat ini duit hasil titik peluk adik sendiri .....
Mula dari dapat kerja pada 3/12/2017 bermula pada hari itu anak aku kena hafal semua bahan-bahan nak memasak berbagai jenis pizza yang ada di bawah produk DOMINOS


Ini lah baju uniform yang anak aku dapat selepas berjaya temuduga dengan Dominos Presint 8 Putrajaya ....dengan ini sah lah anak aku jadi tukang masak pizza yang orang sana panggil kerja bahagian insider (bahagian dapur/makanan) dan bukan rider (penghantar pizza yang guna motosikal tuh....)
